Kia Amanti comparisons, compare luxury sedans, Amanti vehicle specs compare with the competition, Take the Kia Challenge

Finally, a premium midsize sedan without the premium price

The new Kia Amanti boasts a level luxury and style that has people reconsidering their idea of a premium midsize sedan. If you are in need of inspiration, the Amanti is an experience not to be missed. The all-new offers more horsepower than Ford Five Hundred, Nissan Maxima, Buick LaCrosse, or Chrysler 300. That’s 264-horsepower at your service. What you do with that power is up to you.

You'll have to drive it to believe it!

Enjoy standard Sportmatic shifting that gives you the option to switch to manual clutch-free shifting for gear changes by tapping the gearshift up or down. To add some refinement to all that power, the Amanti is equipped with a suspension that delivers optimal tire grip, improved traction and crisp, responsive handling to give you an exceptionally comfortable ride. With the Kia Amanti luxury is not an option. You’ll enjoy more standard features like wood-grain interior accents, dual-zone automatic temperature control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio and cruise control button, and much more.

See how Kia Amanti stacks up to the competition

With Amanti, there's safety in numbers; 8 standard airbags combine with a long list of other features to surround you and your passengers with the best in safety from Kia. And you can rest easy knowing that your new Amanti is backed by the most comprehensive coverage available in the Kia Total Protection Package that includes a 10-year/100,000-mile warranty program and 5 years/60,000 miles of 24-hour roadside assistance.
